How is the health care in that part of the world?😏

Good question. I haven't had to use it myself yet, but this is what I've gathered from conversation with others: Here they have both a private system and a public system. The public system can be free, but you have to be employed here to sign up for it. The private system and hospitals are good, and much cheaper than the US. For example, someone's recent doctor's visit was less than $50 for the office visit, blood work, and an x-ray! If you want to have good health insurance, too, it's about $140/month. But if you need serious treatment for something, like cancer, it's probably better to go to Argentina or Brazil. Again, don't know from my own experience, yet (and hopefully won't for a while!)
